The 2014 Golden Globe Awards might've been short on surprises — historical epic 12 Years a Slave took the award for best dramatic picture, as expected — but they did see a deserving duo of awards for Breaking Bad and its star Bryan Cranston, in addition to statuettes for Spike Jonze's Her, and Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity.

Cranston won best actor in a dramatic TV series for his portrayal of Breaking Bad's mercurial meth cook Walter White. The show also won the award for best TV drama, beating out competition from the likes of Netflix's House of Cards, whose star Robin Wright took home the streaming service's first Golden Globe.

'American Hustle' won three awards, while 'Breaking Bad' earned two

Director Alfonso Cuarón's sci-fi thriller Gravity didn't win the best picture award it was nominated for, but the tense extra-atmospheric drama did earn Cuarón the award for best director. Star Sandra Bullock was also nominated for best actress for her portrayal of medical engineer Ryan Stone, but the nod instead went to Cate Blanchett for her role in Blue Jasmine. Spike Jonze's take on sci-fi was more successful: for his work on left-field love story Her, the director took home the Golden Globe for best screenplay.

But it was crime comedy American Hustle that had the most successful night of all, scoring three awards — including nods for Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence. Full details of all of the night's victors are below.
